02/19/2016 Sometimes it all comes together on a run

Today, I turned in my longest, and strongest run, in awhile. Sometimes, you go out and the run is a struggle no matter what you do or how fit you are. When that happens, you go home and forget about it as fast as possible. Sometimes though, a run like today happens and everything in the world feels good. I ran an 8.5 mile run with a good amount of rolling hills in 1:07:46. That's a pace of about 7:57/mile and the splits are as follows:

Worth noting, and what I am most happy about it, is the 8th mile split, my fastest at 7:13, and the final half mile registered, but not shown in the chart, as 3:38, which is 7:16/mile pace. What does this mean? Even 6 miles in, I was able to kick up the speed on some tired legs and get moving. The fitness is building and today, the world feels right.
